"I think so," Sienna whispered back. "He just pushed himself a bit too hard, nothing too serious."

"Oh that's good to hear," She sighs, relived at her friend's word of reassurance that he will be ok.

sterling thought.

Sienna decided to change the topic of conversation from explosives and their uses as air-conditioning devices. "So what subject do you teach, Professor?" she asked Charles.

by **Helsing** Wed Oct 18, 2017 10:34 pm

Charles glanced down, and grinned from ear to ear.

"Oh, I teach Weapons forging and advancement."

by **Flagmauth** Sat Oct 21, 2017 10:10 pm

"Is that just making weapons for people who haven't already or does it cover more than just that?" Sienna asked, curious.

by **Helsing** Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:27 am

Charles put his free hand to his chin, humming for a second.

"Think of it as an improvement class." he explains, "Everyone can come in through my class with a weapon that they've made, but it's not perfect. The metal is frail, the design is incomplete, or it just doesn't function properly. In my class, I go over what works, and doesn't work for each weapon type. Then, I'll assign you to find those problems, fix them if you want, and at the end of the year, I'll reinforce your weapons with a dust of your choice."

He holds up a hand, "But, the type of dust depends on your grade in the class. After all, I can't make everyone's weapons gravity forged."

it was at this time that Sterling woke up with a throbbing headache.

"What happened? i feel like I was hit by a bus."

by **Helsing** Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:04 pm

"You didn't, but that can be arranged."

by **A Blind Guy** Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:05 pm

"I would prefer if you didn't."

by **Flagmauth** Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:11 pm

"Same, we have a ceremony to get to, don't we?"

by **Helsing** Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:25 pm

Charles laughed, "Yeah, you're definitely your mother's kid. Can't have any fun."

“...Team RWBY, led by Ruby Rose!”

Headmaster Ozpin's voice rang through the halls, accompanied quickly by the applause of every other beacon Combat student and instructor. The red cloaked girl embraced the busty blond to her side and quickly exited the stage as Glynda shooed them off. Finally, Ozpin glanced over to the side of the stage, and smiled when he saw the final team.

He gestured with his cane, and Tyson nudged Sterling forward. He, Tyson, Siena and Nisha took the stage.

Above them, the head monitor showed details of their plan. Their meeting at the top of the cliff, and then finally Sterling dropping the bomb that killed the ghoul. Which, earned him a round of hoops and hollers from the crowd. Apparently killing ghouls didn't happen very often.

"Sterling Tikeri, Nisha Hyeonmu, Sienna Drake, and Tyson Phoenix. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. Henceforth, the four of you shall be known as... Team Sunset, led by Sterling Tikeri!"

Once again, a round of applause exploded from the stadium.

Tyson blinked in surprise, and then, for a second, the edges of his lips tilted upward just a bit.

Ozpin glanced down at Sterling, "Congratulations young man."

by **A Blind Guy** Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:30 pm

"Thank you sir." Sterling responds, not sure what else he should say before stepping back to his team.

by **Helsing** Mon Oct 23, 2017 7:50 pm

As he left, he heard Ozpin whisper.

"This is going to be an... interesting year."

The initiation came and went rather quickly. Professor Glynda escorted everyone to the dorms, and left everything at that. Now, the newly formed team Sunset stood in the middle of a standard for man room. It was rather big, all things concidered. About half of the room was transformed into a sleeping area, while the other half was a living room area with an adjoining bathroom. The sleeping area was simple enough. Just for beds put into four different spaces with desks and lamps next to them.

The living room area was basic, but good enough. It had a single four seater couch across from a home theater system, and close by, a personal kitchen complete with stove, refrigerator, sink, and a fold out table.

Tyson looked at the room and down at his pocket.

"In the event that my work goes critical, I apologize if I destroy the fridge."

by **A Blind Guy** Mon Oct 23, 2017 8:25 pm

Sterling places his belongings on one of the beds. "What do bombs and the fridge have anything to do with each other?"

by **Helsing** Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:06 pm

"Ice Dust requires constant cool temperatures to be kept stable." Tyson explains.

"Also the metal of the door should absorb some of the blasts."

by **Flagmauth** Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:09 pm

"'Some of' the blasts, not all of them?" Sienna felt this was the sort of thing that needed clarification. Just to be safe she set her luggage down next to one of the beds that was further away from the fridge.

by **Helsing** Tue Oct 24, 2017 1:47 pm

"Some might be greater than others, so the metal of the fridge might not be enough during those explosions."

by BerrySayRoar Tue Oct 24, 2017 1:51 pm

Nisha looks at the room that is now going to be her home for several years. A big smile grew on her face as she too a running start and dive bomb into one of the other beds. "This is so amazing!" Unintentionally interrupting them, "Guys guys we should celebrate."

by **A Blind Guy** Tue Oct 24, 2017 3:18 pm

"Celebrate you say? what would you have in mind?"

by BerrySayRoar Tue Oct 24, 2017 3:24 pm

"Me personally I think we should have like a dinner party for us. Im in the mood for dumplings right now. Yeah. Lets do a dumpling party!"

by **Flagmauth** Tue Oct 24, 2017 3:26 pm

"Sounds like a good idea to me."

by **A Blind Guy** Tue Oct 24, 2017 3:40 pm

"It sounds great."

by **Flagmauth** Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:53 pm

"Wait, do we have the ingredients to make dumplings?" Sienna got up from her bed and went to the fridge to find out.

by **Helsing** Tue Oct 24, 2017 10:14 pm

As it turns out, the fridge was fully stocked with almost any ingredient you could imagine.

There was a miniature store in here.

Tyson cracked his neck and stood next to the stove.

"Any preference on what's inside of the dumplings?"

He sees Nisha's smile, and for a second, goes pale as a ghost.

"I'm a good cook I swear."
